For the umpteenth time, all I want to know is this: How do you, Denying-History, know the camera used in the making of that film was a "cheap camera". Tell us the make and model and we will decide whether it was a cheap camera or not.

Denying-History wrote:
I also don't really see providing the make and model being worth my time, as all the videos which try to show Elie doesn't have a damn tattoo are shown in 360p. One of the lowest qualitys on YouTube.

I find it funny that you push that I claim to know the camera type but I don't, if you have read any of the comments I clearly say that the film quality is complete {!#%@}.

Denying-History wrote:
Perhaps you missed the point of this, it was a cheap camera... This means that it was poor quality recording wise.

I'll take this as an admission you have lied to me and attempted to mislead the forum regarding the camera. You have claimed it was a cheap camera. That implies you must know the model type. Otherwise how could you have known it was a cheap camera?

What has the quality of the video on YouTube got to do with the quality the camera is actually capable of producing? Are you now compounding your original lie by suggesting this camera can only film at a maximum resolution of 360p?

Hey Ian, what model did Eric use to record his Treblinka film? What you don't know? Oh well it's totally not like you can tell the quality of the film from the upload quality.

Or could it just be that deniers perposly upload the footage in 360p?

No Ian it implies no such thing. Based on the footage deniers use its awkward angles and an over exposed shot. I have explained this before.

Now instead of dissapearing for months on end to only come back to cause issues over a dead mans tattoo. A man with hardly any impact on the actual quality of the historical research. (Why not complain about an easier target like Blaha?) Just admit the quality of the footage is shitty.

If you don't agree that the quality of this shot is dishonest, then I have nothing else to say to you.

It's a shitty quality 360p reupload into a 'documentary' which is heavily saturated.

If you want to ignore all the clear quality photographs here which show a tattoo then you are just fooling yourself. Aaron's should have ended this, but for some unknown reason you wish to continue this petty issue of camera model. I don't have the camera model, but from the footage quality it's quite clear that 360p is not labeled as HD on youtube in fact it's the 3rd worst upload quality... That alone should tell you something and it implies two things.

A) Deniers are uploading shitty quality videos from the documentary on purpose.

Or

B) The camera was SHITTY.

Giving the uploader of any of the videos a benefit of the doubt, the Camera was shitty. Cause clearly when it's not a shitty camera his Tattoo appears just fine:

Also the Tattoo is quite faded is you look at it. That tends to happen over a period of 60+ years.

Also mind that footage from that period is no where close to modern quality. So the assumption is quite clear here. The camera was ether {!#%@} awful or deniers are being dishonest.

Yawn!

I've told you before I am not a Holocaust revisionist. I don't care one way or the other if Elie Wiesel has a tattoo or not.

You are a revisionist, in my opinion, I saw your posts on Rodoh well before you went silent there. You were quite friendly with Fish. But this is completely irrelevant to the issue as my targeting was that giving deniers (not you) the benefit of the doubt would lead to the image quality being {!#%@}.

As for Elies Tattoo, you obviously do care considering you keep resurrecting this pointless chat about a man who died almost a year ago on July 2. Why you keep coming back to this issue if you didn't care simply proves my point from the last time you were here. You want to grave dig.

Stop dodging the question.

I never dodged it, and have admitted relentlessly that I do not know the model, and I have never claimed to know the camera's model. But have explained my reasoning behind why the camera is {!#%@}. I left my answer above. You don't like it then you can leave.

Big ambitions, huh? One thing I want to know, relevant to this thread, is how many times D-H must answer this same question?

My question is why does he keep return after months of solitude only to complain about a camera question I answered 5 months ago...

All the footage I have found from the documentary is in the 360p quality... even footage uploaded by those who are not deniers. Also mind you have invented this whole claim that I "lied" about knowing the camera model when I have never made such an assertion.

So, Anthony Acevedo, former PoW. This is from another article about his claims:

[...] Morton Goldstein, a member of Jack Vogel’s division—tried to get away but were also caught. “Goldstein’s body was returned here today for burial,” Acevedo noted in his diary. “He was shot while attempting to Re-escape. So they say but actually [he] was recaptured and shot thru the head.” Metz pulled the trigger.

During his trial, Erwin Metz admitted to killing the American PoW Morton Goldstein:

Evidence for the Prosecution:Killing [...] About a kilometer from the work camp, according to the accused, Goldstein sought to escape when the accused stopped to talk to a civilian, The accused asserted he yelled "halt", four times and then fired two shots with his pistol. Goldstein was at least 30 meters away and running at the moment of firing (R 14; P-Ex 1, p. 4). One shot entered the head and the other the back (R 48; P-Ex 4, pp. 2,3).

Evidence for the Prosecution:Killing [...] A pathologist who examined the bodies of American prisoners of war at Berga found one corresponding to the description of Goldstein with a bullet wound in the head and in the back. He stated that the bullets were fired "from rather a distance" (R 62, 516, 517; P-Ex 18, p. 3). A ballistic expert stated that the bullets found in the body were fired from a distance greater than 50 feet (R 522; D-Ex 13, p,2).

The pathologist was Major Herman Bolker, of the US Army MC. He also testified at the Hadamar trial.

Careful study of autopsy results concluded that the prisoner killed in Charge 1 was shot by Metz at a distance greater than 50 feet, lending credibility to his declaration that he had to load his pistol in order to fire at the escaping prisoner. Without solid evidence to tie Metz to an illegal killing, an opportunity was provided for subsequent review boards to modify the sentences of both defendants. Metz' sentence was commuted to 15 years and Merz' to 5 years in prison.

It was February 8, 1945, when they arrived. The camp was known as Berga an der Elster. The soldiers, Acevedo said, were given 100 grams of bread per week made of redwood sawdust, ground glass and barley. Soup was made from cats and rats.

No mention of cat & rat soup or ground-glass and sawdust bread in his diary.

Thanks at least for mentioning Berga. The name wasn't in my memory bank, but yesterday at the library I came across the PBS documentary with that title. So, I've brought it home to watch today, part of my continuing effort to educate myself in Holocaust Studies. I'm way behind the rest of the people on this board. I'll see what I can make of it. Meanwhile, Metz claims to have hit a running target 30 meters away with two pistol shots? Not impossible, but if it's true, the guy should have joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.

And thanks also for mentioning Acevedo's diary, which I have now read in full. So, if you were keeping such a diary in a prison camp, with constant danger of discovery, you'd be sure to record every atrocity of your captors, wouldn't you? Sure you would!

You're saying Acevedo later decided to lie about the soup. There's no evidence for that. Try to remember that the absence of evidence for it in the diary is hardly proof that he was lying later on.

The line about Goldstein being shot at close range does look like it was added later. Well, don't you sometimes edit what you have written? You imply that this was added maybe years later, not the same day, after reflection. But let's discount that; if Acevedo did add it later, his memory may have been faulty.

You are curiously silent about the number of places in the diary where he records that prisoners who couldn't march were shot in cold blood, and that the Germans only stopped doing that when they were faced with the immediate prospect of being overrun by the Americans. You cherry-pick the entries where he mentions receiving Red Cross rations, but the prisoners could not have survived on just those rations, particularly as they were withheld for extended periods of time after being received at the camp. What were they fed when the Germans were feeding them?

good paper in the Microhistories collection (mentioned in Books thread) by Kenneth Waltzer using ITS and Shoah Foundation video archive to sketch out the fates of mostly Hungarian Jewish boys taken to Buna in 1944, then to Buchenwald in January 1945, among these boys Elie Wiesel; focus is on what the archival sources say about survival strategies and in particular pairing up of prisoners (usually with a relative or former neighbor) and small groups as source of support and strength

The Revisionist Point of View.. recapIn the 1970's, the stories passed down about the WW-2 German prison camps were welded together into a narrative we now call "the Holocaust" - meaning "the burnt offering." Through telling and re-telling, the Holocaust has grown to a multi-million dollar industry, and has changed to mean something particular to Jewish history. It has been used to found a nation (Israel), and to justify many exceptions to morality.
If the Holocaust narrative is false, the ramifications are far reaching. Ethnic Germans have been slandered for decades on the basis of the Holocaust. Terrorism used in the founding of Israel was justified through it. It was even used to justify the slaughter, rape, and murder of millions of ethnic Germans after World War 2.
Investigations of physical evidence and original documentation, however, have cast doubts on the Holocaust narrative that has been formed. For example, areas claimed to be mass graves, have been found with modern investigative technology to contain no human remains. Testimonies of accused perpetrators show evidence of outright fabrication, or were obtained through torture. Many of the supposed eyewitnesses have provided stories riddled by inconsistencies, describe physically impossible events, or were even total frauds who were never actually in the camps.The Russian Holocaust
The Holocaust in Russia refers to the Nazi crimes during the occupation of Russia (Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) by National Socialist Germany. This has very little to do with the alleged Shoah with the only concern being the 30 million who perished in the "Great Patriotic War"

Auschwitz inmate Miklos Gruner, 87, says the real "Elie Wiesel" doesn't exist.
In May 1944 , when Miklos Gruner was 15, he was deported from Hungary to Auschwitz-Birkenau with his mother and father as well as a younger and an elder brother. He says that his mother and his younger brother were immediately gassed after their arrival in the camp.

Then he, his elder brother and their father had an inmate number tattooed on their arms and were sent to perform hard work in a synthetic fuel factory linked to IG Farben where his father died six months later.

After that, the elder brother was sent to Mauthausen and, as the young Miklos was then alone, two elder Jewish inmates who were also Hungarians and friends with his late father took him under their protection. These two protectors of the young Miklos were the Lazar and Abraham Wiesel brothers.
Years later, in 1986, Miklos was contacted by the Swedish journal Sydsvenska Dagbladet in Malmo and invited to meet "an old friend" named Elie Wiesel... As Miklos answered that he doesn`t know anyone with this name, he was told Elie Wiesel was the same person Miklos knew in the Nazi camps under the name Lazar Wiesel and with the inmate number A-7713. Miklos still remembered that number and he was therefore convinced at that point that he was going to meet his old friend Lazar.
Miklos also found out that the book Elie Wiesel gave him in 1986 as something he has written himself was in fact written in Hungarian in 1955 by Miklos' old friend Lazar Wiesel and published in Paris under the title "Un di Velt hot Gesvigen", meaning approximately "The World Kept Silent".

I can't tell if you are merely reporting these insane rantings or endorsing them. Please tell me it's the former.

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”

VFX, in the absence of any rational rebuttal I'm inclined to accept your evidence as the facts of the issue you addressed. In fairness, I would have to do the same for Nessie. Sadly, some of the others can't accept that their bad manners aren't going to work anymore.

I report these, with no bias and wait for evidence to suggest other wise. The fact that people may not like them doesn't mean that they will go away, they will not. At this moment they are not endorsed but needs discussing. I find here that many people say this is proven, that is a fact... blah blah blah, call the post an idiiot etc, but fail to give alternative information or evidence. Your reflective thoughts on this Wiesel issue would be appreciated thank you Upton.

Indeed Monty, the issue is important to post at RODOH, where there will be some reflection and deep thought from people who really are interested in "real" history. As I am not biased it is not personal to me if Wiesel is a Weasel, Stoat , Ferret or what other identity it might assume. As there is no evidence to suggest that the Auschwitz inmates claims of identity theft is not credible, then the assertion that this man makes must be given the weighting it deserves. One must look at this other mans claims in more detail and weigh up why he might make up false allegations.
In the interim, the claim that Elie Wiesel is an impostor stands.
